Mexican street food for St Cross events
How our Mexican street food works in St Cross
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders are served quickly from the hatch. On the menu are vegan tacos, tacos and quesadillas, and it suits open-air performances and feeding crew and volunteers.
Summer fairs around St Cross are often run by volunteers, so we agree pitch, access and power with the organiser in advance. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
